When I was very young，people in our village lived by planting fruit trees.My grandmother always took me to the orchard（果园） on the hill.At that time，they had to carry water from the river at the foot of the hill to halfway up the hill.Even though we worked so hard，the production level of fruit was still low because it was short of water there.
One day，two young men led a group of workers to our village.They learned about the difficulties we faced，and later，canals and other projects began to be built in my village， "Who are they？" I asked. "They are good men from our government，" my grandma replied.
Shortly afterwards，I moved to another city for my junior high school.The only reason I ever came back to my hometown was my grandmother.
One day，my family and I made time to return.We were surprised because everything had changed.The canal ran past every orchard so villagers didn't have to go up and down the hill anymore.The river was now so clean that fish swam happily in it.When we arrived home，my grandma took out some fresh pears and apples.She told us that after the water conservation project（水利工程） was completed a policy（政策） was made to encourage more people to increase the fruit production with clean water in the river.
Thank those good men who have devoted themselves to the development of our countryside.

Everyone needs friends．There is an old saying"Friends are God's way of taking care of us．"But how do you find real friendship and keep it？
The American writer Sally Seamans tells young students some smart ways to find friends．Sally says finding friendship is just like planting a tree．You plant the seed and take care of it to make it grow．
First，you should choose a friend．What makes a Good friend？It is not because a person has money or good looks．A good friend should be kind and patient．For example，if you have a bad day，a good friend should listen to your complaints and do his or her best to help．To make a friend，you can not be too shy．You should make each other happy and share your lives．But things cannot always be happy．Even the best have fights．What should you do when you have a fight with your friend？You have to talk to him or her．When there is no one around，have an honest talk．If he or she doesn't want to talk，you could write a letter．
There are three steps to being friends again：
Tell him or her how you are feeling； say what your friend has done wrong，and explain why you did this or that．Remember that friendship is the most important thing in your life．

Where does your food come from？How is it made？These days，many people worry about food safety．But food safety is not a new worry．In 1906，Upton Sinclair wrote the Jungle．The book is the story of a poor family in Chicago．It is also about the dangerous ways that food was prepared．People were so worried that the U．S．started testing food．
These days，most food in the world is safe．Laws control where food comes from．They also control how food is managed and prepared．Laws are important． But it's more important to make sure the rules are followed．A good food safety system（系统）keeps people safe．It also helps them eat healthy food．Labels（标签）on food give people important information．Then they can make good choices about their food．
Although food safety systems usually work，there can be problems．Sometimes mistakes are made．For example，a truck might carry eggs and then ice cream．The ice cream could make people sick when the truck isn't cleaned before carrying it．Other problems are not mistakes．Sometimes companies break rules to make more money．When this happens，people don't know if their food is safe．
As we all know，food is closely related to our daily life．We should take actions to make food safer！

All over the world the need for more laptops and computers increases each year．Networks have been part of our life．Probably everyone with a portable device （移动设备）has once logged on to a public WiFi network without paying for it，while they are having a coffee，on a train，in a shopping mall or at a hotel．However，is this kind of public WiFi network safe？
Some networks are better protected than others because encryption （加密）methods are used．Therefore，they are safer than others．But a survey in 2015 showed that more than 950 million records were not protected，including addresses，emails，birth dates，phone numbers，passwords and so on．These open WiFi networks are really not safe，because it is very easy for hackers （黑客） to break into the operating system and get people's private information．
Most smartphones and laptops，by themselves，search and connect to WiFi networks．They usually prefer a network with a connection that has been used before．Hackers'devices are able to record these searches and look like the trusted WiFi networks．When these smartphones and laptops log on to the networks which are not real，hackers can easily steal their private information．
So next time，when we want to use our laptops or our smartphones in public places which offer free WiFi networks，please think it twice or take safe measures before using them．
42．Why do people like to go log on to a public WiFi network？
A．Because it can provide useful information．
B．Because the owner of the network is polite．
C．Because it is free．
D．Because it is safe．
43．We can learn from the passage that
A．not all the public WiFi networks are safe
B．none of the public WiFi networks is safe
C．in 2015more than 950million records were protected
D．there is no way to protect our private information
44．Hackers would probably get the following EXCEPT when we connect our laptops or smartphones to a public WiFi network．
A．our birth dates
B．our passwords
C．our phone numbers
D．our smartphones
45．Which of the following can be the best title of this passage？
A．Don't Use Public WiFi Networks
B．Why the Public WiFi Networks a Possible Danger
C．We Needn't Protect Our Private Information
D．Why Hackers Break into the Operating System．
Buying Is Doing？
How important is shopping to you？How much time do you spend buying things？And how much time
do you spend organizing these things in your home？In the future，how much time will you spend in movie
theaters，at amusement parks，at shopping malls，or at convenience stores？When you add it all up，you will probably see you spend a lot of your life consuming（消费）things．Consuming products is not necessarily bad．However，if we spend too much time doing it，we should look at it carefully．
Imagine that you have a week off from school．You don't have to go to class．However，in this week，
you cannot spend any money﹣﹣﹣﹣﹣no shopping，no movies，no eating out．How would you spend your time？What things would bring you happiness？Perhaps you would take a walk with your best friend．Perhaps you would help a child read．Or you might spend time with your family．
When we look back，it is likely that non﹣consuming experiences like these will be our most important
memories．Why？Non﹣consuming activities are active，not passive．They don't come in a package．You make the experience yourself．For example，each person who reads to a child will have a different experience．The experience changes with the reader，the child，and the book．Similarly，when you have a conversation with a friend，you are actively creating an experience．The conversation that you have with your friend cannot be experienced or recreated by anyone else．However，if you watch a movie with a friend，you will each have a package experience．It requires no action and little interaction between the two of you．
The environment we live in encourages us to have packaged experiences．We feel that we must
consume because we believe that buying is doing．However，we can start a personal revolution （ 变革） against consumerism．How？By consuming less．We can ask ourselves what experiences bring us the greatest satisfaction．Then we can organize our lives so that we have more of those kinds of experiences．
49．If consuming products takes too much time，we should ．
A．spend less money
B．think about it carefully
C．organize our things
D．go to convenience stores
50．According to the passage，the writer believes that ．
A．we can say no to consumerism by consuming less
B．buying things can bring us the greatest satisfaction
C．the environment seldom influences our shopping choices
D．consuming experiences will be our most important memories
51．What is the writer's main purpose in writing this passage？
A．To introduce some ways of enjoying our spare time．
B．To encourage people to have more active experiences．
C．To explain reasons behind people's shopping behavior．
D．To share his personal experience in consuming products．
Have you tried to run or walk for exercise and then given up？ If you answered yes， you should try a new kind of exercise： aquatic （水中的） exercise． Aquatic exercise is like exercise on land， but you do it in a swimming pool． More and more people are trying aquatic exercise．
Aquatic exercise feels easier than exercising on land． Why？ You weigh about 90% less in the pool． It is better for your knees than running or walking． Water is about 1， 000 times thicker and heavier than air． To move through the water， your body has to work four times as hard． As a result， you can burn more calories （卡路里）．
In fact， most people say they feel more relaxed in the water． They stop thinking about the things that make them worried． They feel in control of their bodies． The cool， quiet environment makes them feel good．
But what if you are afraid of the water？ No problem! There is nothing to worry about． Aquatic exercise is safe and
easy to learn． It doesn't require any special skills． You don't even need to know how to swim． Aquatic exercise is for everyone．

You might not think much about where your garbage goes．But now you might want to know．On July 1，Shanghai introduced a new garbage﹣sorting policy （垃圾分类政策）．People there need to put different kinds of garbage into different bins． Other cities in China will do the same soon．
Garbage sorting is a big problem because there is too much garbage these days．It is bad for our environment．In fact， we can make use of some garbage again． But first， we need to sort it．
For example， if you put an old battery （电池） into the "harmful waste" bin， people can use it to make new batteries． But if you don't， the battery will end up somewhere else．Then， it will pollute the environment．
Garbage sorting and recycling around the world
Germany： There are big machines in supermarkets． You can put bottles in the machines and get money back．

Hey， guys! I have a lot of things I don't need， so I'm thinking about having a yard sale． What do you think？

Thank you!

Having a yard sale is not easy． You have to collect things， put prices on them， put them out on tables and then wait for people to come． And usually you have to sell things at VERY low prices． For all that time and work， you make very little money． Why not just sell your things online for higher prices？ |
Debby's right． But I think it'd be even better to just give your things to people who need them． I just sent out a lot of things last week． |
Hey， I love yard sales! It's a great chance to make big money if you choose the right day． In my experience， Saturday is the best．
|
I agree with Albert． You can make money and meet interesting people． I made some good friends at my last yard sale．
